==History==
Grandin was named for [[Bonanza farms|Bonanza farmer]] [[Grandin brothers|John Livingston Grandin]]. Grandin, a native of [[Tidioute, Pennsylvania]], along with his brother [[Grandin brothers|William James]], purchased 99 sections of land in the [[Red River Valley]], dividing them in 1,500 acre farms. The brothers had 14,000 acres under cultivation near Grandin, with another 600 acres near [[Mayville, North Dakota]]. Prior to the arrival of the [[Transcontinental railroad|railroad]] the brothers shipped wheat from their farm by [[barge]] on the Red River to [[Fargo, North Dakota|Fargo]], 90 miles downstream. The barges were towed by the [[Steamboat|steamers]] ''Alsop'' and ''Grandin''. The Grandin brothers' bonanza farm was one of the earliest adopters of the telephone in the state. JL Grandin's great granddaughter is [[Temple Grandin]], an animal scientist, author and [[autism]] advocate.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Federal Writer's Project of the Works Progress Administration for the State of North Dakota|title=The WPA Guide To 1930s North Dakota|date=1977|publisher=State Historical Society of North Dakota|isbn=1891419145|pages=193–194|edition=2nd}}</ref><ref>Chapter 10 The Legacy Of Genes in "A Thorn in My Pocket: Temple Grandin's Mother Tells the Family Story" by Eustacia Cutler</ref>
